Zhu Ying was stunned when he heard this.
If he wasn't his biological father, how could he be like Monkey King, jumping out of a stone?
"Old man, what do you mean by this?" Zhu Ying replied speechlessly.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he realized that his words seemed to be ambiguous.
Explained again: "We don't mean that. What we mean is that the father you mentioned earlier, Dasun, should not be your biological father."
Zhu Ying frowned slightly.
He didn't expect that the old man would not give up at all and had been looking for someone to investigate him.
To be able to say this with such certainty must be a very deep investigation.
At this moment, Zhu Ying felt a little uncomfortable. He had many secrets, and what he kept on the surface could easily arouse others' greed.
At present, relying on the brand of King Yan Zhu Di can still intimidate him.
I won't stay in the capital for too long in the future, so I feel confident.
Frowning slightly, Zhu Ying looked at the old man, wanting to deny it.
However, he met the old man's eyes full of longing and expectation.
He seemed to understand the old man's mood at the moment.
When the words came to his lips, he took them back again.
After a long silence, Zhu Ying sighed, and then said: "Since you have found out everything, old man, I won't hide it from you anymore."
"Indeed, I am just my father's adopted son. When my father adopted me, his own son contracted a cold and died early, so he directly replaced him with me."
"Later, I entered the family tree as my father's biological son and provided for him until his death."
"Just two years later, my father and I encountered a sudden disaster while doing business, and my father died as a result."
Although Zhu Yuanzhang already knew all this.
But Zhu Ying admitted it herself, and she couldn't help but get excited.
After listening, he quickly asked: "Where did you live before your father adopted you? When your father adopted you, you were only eight years old. What about before? Didn't you remember it before you were eight years old? "
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry, Zhu Ying probably understood what the old man was thinking.
Without hesitation, he shook his head and said, "I don't have the slightest impression. I have forgotten everything that happened before I was eight years old, and I can't even remember it at all."
Zhuying explained. After all, he was resurrected from a dead body, and he did not inherit any memory from his previous life. He couldn't talk about the past life, or he would be beaten to death as a monster.
After Zhu Ying finished speaking, she looked at the old man's slightly excited eyes and couldn't bear to get too deep into it, so she said directly:
"Old man, maybe your grandson and I are about the same age and look somewhat similar, but I am really not your grandson."
"You also said last time that your grandson died young and was buried alive, but I didn't emerge from the soil."
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help but retorted: "But you were adopted by your father only in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, and you look so similar. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?"
Zhu Ying did not expect that the old man would not give up.
Besides, how can I look the same when I was a child and when I grow up?
People say that women undergo eighteen changes.
The appearance of a man when he was a child and when he grows up also changes drastically.
It is unreliable to say that ten years later, the appearance of the eighteen-year-old will be similar just based on his appearance when he was eight years old.
This period is the time of puberty development, and the difference is so big that even the biological parents may not be able to recognize it.
After some hesitation, Zhu Ying did not hide too much and said frankly: "Old man, I will not lie to you. When my father picked me up, he fished me out of the water on the edge of the Yangtze River."
"Your grandson was buried in the soil, and I was drowned in the river. There is absolutely no reason for this to happen."
"Furthermore, after your eldest grandson's death, was there any case of the body being stolen or the coffin being stolen?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Who dares to steal our eldest grandson's corpse!"
"That's it."
Zhu Ying added: "Your eldest grandson's body is very much alive, and I am standing here alive. How could he be your eldest grandson? No matter how you look at it, this is completely impossible."
Zhu Yuanzhang paused and was speechless.
He had actually thought about what Zhu Ying said. In other words, any normal person can think of these situations.
But when he saw Zhu Ying, the familiar feeling that he had raised for eight years came back immediately.
His appearance is definitely very different from when he was a child.
But in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, this difference does not count at all.
Because Zhu Ying's appearance and temperament are very similar to his son.
It’s okay to just be like a son. Two people who are similar in the world are not related by blood.
Zhu Yuanzhang had not heard of it, he had even seen it.
But Zhu Ying’s eyebrows and facial features. She was very similar to the older girl he spent time with when she was young.
The older girl is always so young in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
Others don't remember the beauty of the eldest sister when she was young, how can Zhu Yuanzhang forget it?
It doesn’t matter if they look like one person, but if they look like two people at the same time, they still lost their memory in about the same month of the same year.
There are so many coincidences connected together, can this still be a coincidence?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang retorted again: "But Dasun, you don't look like a businessman at all. As far as we know, your adoptive father does not have the ability to provide you with education."
"The temperament of a scholar like you cannot be cultivated by ordinary people."
In the Ming Dynasty, especially in ancient times.
In fact, there are big differences in the professions many people engage in, except for their clothing. Mental states and senses also vary greatly.
Eighty percent of the world is illiterate.
The warriors are rude, the literati are refined, the businessmen are philistines, the poor are sallow, submissive and so on.
These external manifestations are the divisions of feudal classes, which were very obvious at any time in ancient times.
How could someone like Zhu Ying, who had a simple background and grew up as the son of a businessman, have the temperament of reading poetry and books?
Zhu Ying was speechless upon hearing this.
What does his temperament have to do with this life?
In his previous life, he was an outstanding graduate of nine-year compulsory education.
Don't talk about him, anyone in the future will be able to figure out the temperament of this scholar.
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Ying asked: "The old man should be very familiar with your majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and didn't understand what Dasun meant. He replied: "I can see him every day, so of course I am familiar with him."
"That's right." Zhu Ying said:
"Since the old man is familiar with Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty was a monk and a beggar when he was young. But why did you immediately stand out and conquer the Ming Dynasty by joining the army?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he felt relieved and said with a smile: "Then tell us what is the reason for this."
Zhu Ying replied: "That's because Your Majesty has been smart and studious since he was a child. During the days when he was a monk, he studied thousands of books."
"After that, even though I was begging for a living, I never forgot the knowledge in the book. I even traveled thousands of miles and became more knowledgeable."
After Zhu Ying finished speaking, he looked at the old man with a smile.
The meaning is very obvious.
My temperament comes from the same background as His Majesty today.
